Hi all,

Managed to source some NOS tiogas and wondered who’s had the best results with making them white again.

Aware I need an oil based pen and there’s loads out there.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

They weren’t?

Not once they hit the shop they wearnt.
They may have been from factory, but they weren't within about a day off leaving it.

For a proper retro touch, try tippex

Give whitening toothpaste a go.
Not being entirely serious.
Don't. Use. Your. Toothbrush.

I reckon anything you do is going to look worse. Short if stripping them to black and screen printing them again. You ight getaway with a stencil, but freehand, nope.

Like I said, they were never really white. Enjoy it for what it is.

I think these cost the shop 2.50 a peice and we sold them for 10 quid a go.

Thanks all. Will see what I can do as it’s for a how piece. Stencil might work as you mention

If you wanted to get super fancy you could get heat transfer vinyl cut for it. There are plenty of companies out there who will cut that for you and it is not expensive. That means digitising the current design to a vector format, but that's a matter of just throwing time at it, not of any real difficulty or skills.
